[Reader-list] BOYCOTT SECTARIAN AGENDAS

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Dear Murali
 
Thank you for the quoting from the Website. I noticed though that these are not the words of Satya Sai Baba. His words are reproduced in quotes.
 
As far as I am aware, for a Mantra to be a Pranayamic exercise, the recitation of words would have to be matched with specified timings, intensity (and source of breath) linked with Inhalation, Retention and Exhalation (Puraka, Kumbhaka, Rechaka). 
 
As far as I am aware, there is no such regime for the Gayatri Mantra.
 
You did not comment on my suggestion. Let me repeat it:
 
"""""""" While on this topic, why not introduce Vuzoo and Namaaz too into your proposed regime?
 
         Vuzoo is an excellent habit for maintaining basic cleanliness and Namaaz entails a set of postures in which (fascinatingly) you can see a digest of various Yogic Aasanas.""""""
 
Kshmendra

Dear Kshmedra,
"Touted" I dont need to as I am not marketing it or its concept. I just shared what I have come to understand of it.

"Exercise of chanting Gayatri is essentially Pranayama, hence breathing is regulated, chanellised and perfected." This is a quote from " This a quote from "http://www.saibabaforbeginners.com/gayatri.html"

Thanks and Regards,
V Murali

Dear Murali
 
This is the first time I have heard Gayatri Mantra being touted as a 'breathing exercise'. Could you please elaborate on that?
 
If you were to speak about the benefits of Pranayamic exercises (especially Ujjayi Pranayam), that would make some sense. But Gayatri Mantra as a 'breathing exercise'????

Vuzoo is an excellent habit for maintaining basic cleanliness and Namaaz entails a set of postures in which (fascinatingly) you can see a digest of various Yogic Aasanas.

Dear Anupam,
Dear Anupam,

The issue of uniformity has still not been addressed. A burkha clad girl in
a school cannot be questioned and if done, the media and the entire
pseudo-seculars go all out to  call it hindu fanaticism.

Atma or the soul, life after death and re-birth are concepts which is their
in most faiths. Moreover the Gaytri mantra is also a breathing exercise as
the stanzas repeated in its correct form has set timings to control breath.
